Oh, and if you have ever wanted to try a little European swim brief for either boys or girls, they have several in the $5-$7 range!   I pictured their red and navy items above because they are my favorite, but there are also plenty of other colors:

Shipping is usually $8.95 per order.  If you have some Amazon credit lying around, you can also order PO.P at Amazon.  Adorable swim and sun wear to protect little bodies... plus reduce the miserable time you spend smearing sunscreen all over them!  Surf suits are a life saver.

Green Toys at Zulily today...

There is a pretty good selection of Green Toys available at Zulily today, and the prices are decent as well.  These toys are my favorite because they are made of recycled plastic and they are STURDY.  We have lots of these and they have never, not once, broken or bent.  My kids adore them and play with them long past the ages you might think kids would and I love how they look.  Green Toys is a fantastic toy company and I will always promote discounts of their products.

As a helpful hint, if you love these toys too and live near a HomeGoods store, check there for Green Toys.  The prices are usually really low and then you won't have to pay shipping!

Some stand-out Tea Collection deals at Amazon today...

This perfect stripe shirt dress from Tea is 55% off in 2-6 year sizes at Amazon today at just $14.40!!  This is ideal for school as it is versatile, comfortable and may even hide stains well if they land on the right stripe.

If you have a 2 year-old, you may want to consider this watercolor flutter sleeve dress, at just $9.90 (66% off).  In my experience, a $10 dress for a 2 year-old that could be worn just about anywhere is good news.  Both of these qualify for Amazon Prime and Super Saver shipping as well.

Hanna Andersson for Serena & Lily....

Did you know that Hanna Andersson makes pajamas for Serena & Lily?  The prints are much more sophisticated than what you find among regular Hannas and the colors are lovely and slightly muted.  These might be my favorite kids' pajamas around right now, and they are currently on sale at Gilt!  The prices are not show-stopping, but if you are as tempted by these beautiful colors and pints as I am, here's a chance to get almost a 50% discount.  They are normally $36-$46 a pair (ridiculous),  but are currently $16-$26 at Gilt.  You can also find some of the Serena & Lily Hannas on sale for $18.99-$24.99 at Serena & Lily itself (though the sale selection is not as varied or plentiful).

50% to 65% off Tea Collection Morocco line at Nordstrom...

Right now you can get a great deal on some Tea Collection pieces at Nordstrom!  I love the "Fes" tile print top (just $11.98) and the Hafeza cotton/linen embroidered dress ($22.49) for spring... not the usual pinks and purples.  There is also this little "witty monkey"set for baby boys:

It is just $14.97, 65% off right now!  All orders from Nordstrom ship for free, and returns are easy peasy lemon squeeze.  Hurry, though, the sizes are already pretty limited and these items will not last long.  Find all of the Tea Collection 50% off (or more) pieces here.

Huge Brooks Brothers sale...

Brooks Brothers is having an enormous sale, with many items marked up to 80% off.  The girls' dresses above are all $20 and under, most of them just $16 (they started out at $80-$125).  And the versatile nylon quilted jacket below has been marked down from $150 to $30!

Boys are not left out either... most of the dress shirts are just $12, shorts and chinos are between $11 and $14 and there are some $11 swimsuits.  I have never seen Brooks Brothers prices quite this low, and you can count on high quality craftsmanship and fabric.

Be sure to check the women's and men's sales as well.  There are a ton of fabulous ties for around $23, half off non-iron dress shirts (those are the best) and some great deals on wool dress coats.  Be quick, though, because this sale is only on for the weekend (in stores and online).
